HANGER FOB WARDROBE BAGS.

Application filed June 4, 1926. Serial No. 113,786.

The present invention relates to hangers and frames for wardrobe bags and the prime object of the invention is to provide a combined hanger for the bagand a hook from which a plurality of garment hangers may be suspended.

Another object of the invention is to provide such a combined hanger and hook of simple construction so that the device may be marketed at a low price.

A further object of the invention is to provide a simple construction and at the veniently packed and shipped.

Other objects and features of the device will be apparent from the followin description considered in connection wit the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification.

In the drawings:

Fig, 1 is a view of the combined hanger and hook as used with a wardrobe bag;

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the combined hanger and hook;

Fig. 3 shows the device inv position for packing and shipping. 1

Referringto the drawings in detail, the reference character 11 designates a wire frame comprising preferably a single piece of wire of suitable gage. The frame is preferably rectan ular and has two of sides 11 longer than t e connectin sides 11". The frame is in effect a loop 0 wire of suitable rigidity to sustain the weight of the ward- I robe bag. A double loop joint 12 holds the frame loop closed. The longer sides 11 are bent mid-way thereof to form eyelets 13 by which the frame or hanger 11 may be carried by the hook 14 and suspended therefrom.

- The hook 14 consists of a head 15 by which the book may be. suspended from any suit able supporting device, and two side members 16 the ends of which are received within the eyelets 13 and bent over to form a loop connection with the frame sides 11 in said eyelets. Each side member 16 comprises a plurality of double-bends 16 for supporting a plurality of garment hangers in properly spaced relation. The hook 14 is made from a single piece of wire such as is used for making the frame or hanger 11. Thus, to make the combined hook and hanger, it is necessary only to out two lengths of wire, one length for the frame 11 and one length for the hook 14, and to form these lengths by simple bending operations into the frame and hook, respectively.

When the frameand'hook parts are assembled and positioned for use, the side members 16 are below the plane of the frame 11, as shown by Fig. 2, so that the top of the wardrobe bag will clear the to of the side members 16. The use of the evice is illustrated more clearly by Fig. 1, wherein a wardrobe bag B is shown suspended from th e frame 11, the head 15 of the hook 14 proJecting through an opening in the top of the bag. The bag is preferabl of the general shape shown so that the frame 11 serves to properly spread the bag to its in tended shape. A lower shaping member of heavy cardboard or the like is placed within the bag and rests on the bottom thereof as at S. One side of the .bag is provided with an opening through which the garments to be protected may be inserted and removed at will. This side of the bag may be closed by snap fasteners T or any other suitable means.

F ig. 3 shows the position of the parts assembled in position for acking and shipping. The hook 14 is siown swung into substantially the plane of the frame 11 so that a fiat package may be made. It will be understood that the ends of the side members or garment-hanger supports 16 fit loosely within the eyelets 13 so that the hook 14 may be readily swung into the plane of the frame 11 as stated. I

In view of the above description, the construction and use of the device obvious, and it will be seen that the prime objectsof the invention are realized in a simple, inexpensive, and highl practical device. Certain changes may 'e made, in view of this disclosure, without departing from the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:

1. A device for supporting a wardrobe bag and a plurality of garment hangers, comprising a frame consisting of a single piece of wire of rectangular shape and having bends forming eyelets in two opposite sides thereof, and a member consisting of a sin 1e piece of wire comprising a hook portion or suspending the device from a support, and oppositely extending garment-hanger supporting members disposed below the plane of said frame so that the wardrobe bag will clear the top thereof when the device is in use, said supporting members being connected loosely with said eyelets.

2. A device for supporting a wardrobe bag and a plurality of hangers for garments comprising a frame consisting of a single piece of wire, said frame having bends in the midportions of the sides thereof forming eyelets, the ends of said frame having interconnecting loops, and a member consisting of a single piece of wire having a hook and two opposite side portions at right angles to said hook, said side portions havin loops inter-connected with the eyelets of sai frame whereby said frame may be supported from said member and whereby said member may be folded substantially against said frame.

3. A device for supporting a wardrobe bag and a plurality of hangers for garments, comprising a frame for the wardrobe bag and a member for the garment hangers, said member consisting of a single piece of Wire andhaving a hook portion and oppositelyextending side portions, said side portions being loosely connected to said frame and depending below the plane of the frame when the device is in use, said side portions having a plurality of double-bends to support the garment hangers in spaced relation, said member being swingable substantially against said frame.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto aflix my signature.
